Zhang Liao couldn't believe that Liu Bei had fled all over the world, how could he die like this?
Suddenly, he thought of someone and asked, "Where's Zhao Yun? Has anyone seen Zhao Yun rush out of the sea of fire?"
Lu Xun had never seen Zhao Yun, but he had heard of this man. He frowned and said, "I have seen all four defense armies, but there is no Zhao Yun."
Zhang Liao touched his spear with even more doubts.
He had personally learned Zhao Yun's martial arts skills. Although the fire was strong, how could he not escape with his unparalleled skills?
Lu Xun took a few steps to reach the bound Chen Dao, bent down and stared into his eyes and asked, "Where is Liu Xuande?"
Chen Dao had blood coming out of the corner of his mouth and said fiercely: "My lord hasn't come out yet, so I'll cover him and go put out the fire."
"Firefighting, can you save such a big fire?"
Lu Xun discovered new doubts. Liu Bei was not stupid. How could he put out the fire?
Chen Dao originally prepared a speech, but found that the scholar in front of him was not asking him, but himself.
He raised his head and examined this person carefully, confirming that he had never seen or heard of him before, and wondered: "Who are you?"
"Do you know General Beifu?"
When Chen arrived, he realized that he had no idea about the name Beifu General before December last year, but how could he not know it now? It was Beifu General Cao Wu who defeated Zhou Yu in the Battle of Chibi and allowed Cao Cao to secure Jingzhou. , Jiangdong was in danger, and Liu Bei fled to the south.
Chen Dao gritted his teeth and said, "Are you the general of Beifu?"
"He's just a counselor in Beifu."
Lu Xun had already stood up, finished the interrogation and left.
Chen Dao was shocked, when did a Beifu counselor have such strength? Who is this Beifu general who suddenly appeared.
Chen Dao was left behind, and Lu Xun was deep in thought as he walked.
Chen Dao was also considered a fierce general. Lu Xun didn't know what Cao Wu had planned, so he never tortured him. After all, he is not Zhuge Liang. Cao Wu has a deeper relationship with Zhuge Liang, and Cao Wu took the initiative to invite him. Zhuge Liang can make decisions for Cao Wu, but he cannot.
He came back and looked at the sea of fire, and his heart sank.
In the afternoon, the fire finally stopped. The smell of burning was everywhere in the air, and sporadic flames were still burning.
And Cao Wu's large army finally arrived.
Cao Wu's more than 20,000 people first arrived at Zhang Liao's camp in a mighty manner, and met Zhuge Liang, who had led a thousand people to stay behind. They heard that Zhang Liao had gone to battle, and news of the victory had also spread back.
The generals looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Zhang Liao had already won the battle as soon as they arrived.
Because it was not convenient for all the troops to come, Cao Wu led his generals, ordered five hundred people, rushed to the battlefield, and stood outside the fire circle.
Xu Huang praised: "General Zhang is really powerful. He defeated Wuxi Man and Liu Xuande in one battle, defeating many with less."
After the war, the enemy's casualties have not yet been calculated, but Zhang Liao's side, because it was only a scattered team that defended the perimeter and rushed out of the fire scene, had a total of less than a thousand casualties, of which only a few hundred were killed. Compared with the casualties of at least tens of thousands, It can be said to be a big victory.
Le Jin was envious: "General Zhang did what General Fu Bo Ma failed to do."
However, he focused more on his contribution to pacifying the barbarians. It is said that the Wuxi barbarians moved in full force, leaving only the old, weak, women and children. With this battle, the Wuxi barbarians were all wiped out and there was no danger anymore.
Zhang Liao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is not my credit. First, Zhuge's military division mobilized scouts and found the location of Liu Xuande's camp in the jungle. Later, the army division made a prompt decision and attacked the enemy camp with fire. I could not do anything but lead the troops to guard the intersection. That’s all, no different from the three generals Huang, Wei, and Cao.”
Lu Xun's identity should not be made public, and he used the pseudonym Lu Yan. Neither Zhang Liao nor Huang Zhong paid much attention to him, but in this battle, Lu Yan's name convinced them.
Huang Zhong shook his head: "I didn't contribute much in this battle."
On the other hand, Wei Yan and Cao Xiu were still young and had made great achievements in their early years. Although they were just following along, they were still honored.
Cao Wu patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder and said: "Wen Yuan, I told you that you are the general who wants to make the wolf the king of Xu. You are indispensable for conquering the world, and you are indispensable for making marquises and ministers!"
Zhang Liao had the most outstanding achievements among generals with different surnames, but his rewards were not as good as those of Xia Hou Cao. Only then did he feel that he had learned a lesson, especially Cao Wu's words "Seal the wolf and live in Xu", which made him extremely excited every time he heard it.
Zhang Liao didn't say much, just clasped his fists in gratitude.
Later, Cao Wucai asked: "How are Liu Xuande and Shamoke?"
"Shamoko is dead, and his head is here."
Zhang Liao asked a primary school student to bring up Samoko's head. Only Zhang Liao had seen Samoko's face from a distance. He said yes, so he couldn't be wrong.
Moreover, some of the barbarian soldiers were captured, and they also identified that this was indeed Samoko.
It turned out that Shamoko first put out the fire, but later found that the fire could not be put out, so he organized more than a thousand people to break out. However, Zhang Liao easily defeated him and Shamoko was killed by Zhang Liao.
Cao Wu nodded: "Send it to Governor Zhao and spread it to the four southern counties."
Cao Wu would not have been able to say such words at the time he had just traveled through time. However, the war finally changed him, a civilized young man with five principles and four virtues. Over the years, he had seen too many heads.
"Here!"
The small school turned around and left.
After the principal left, Zhang Liao made up his mind. He looked at each other and Lu Xun spoke.
"Lord, generals, please follow me."
Then, Lu Xun led the crowd past the remains of the fire.
The burning smell lingered in the air for a long time, and no one knew how many people were burned to death here in more than one night.
Looking at the remains of the clothes, most of the dead were barbarians, and there were also a small number of Han soldiers.
Lu Xun led them to a large stronghold. On the top of the stronghold, the Chinese army banner "General Zuo leads Yuzhou Muyicheng Tinghou Liu" was still hanging on it. Because it was too high, it was not affected by the fire.
In front of the gate of Dazhai, there were three charred corpses. They seemed to have been burned to death after coming out of the camp after a fire.
"Liu Xuande..."
Lu Xun pointed to the one in the middle. Although the body was charred, his characteristics such as the length of his hands could still be identified.
"Pang Shiyuan..."
Point to the left again.
"Zhao Zilong..."
Also pointing to the right.
"In addition, the body of a woman was found not far away. After identification, it was Liu Bei's wife, Mrs. Gan, who committed suicide."
Zhang Liao introduced with a cold tone.
Cao Wu stared at the corpse for a while, then looked at the big banner.
The general Zuo registered in the imperial court has long been replaced by Gongsun Kang, the governor of Liaodong, and many people have been changed as the pastor of Yuzhou. However, Liu Bei's flag has always carried these two positions.
When the generals thought about Liu Bei's life, they were all sighing.
Only Cao Wu looked at it with a frown and sighed.
Lu Xun hesitated and said, "Why do you sigh, my lord?"
